How to Create a Paid Post

Start the post

Click Create in the left menu and choose Paid post, or use the new-post block on your profile.

Step 1. The free part

This is the teaser everyone can see, and it's what persuades people to buy, so it's worth some thought. It's optional, but a paid post with nothing on show is a hard sell.

Each block here has a Display in paid part switch. Turn it on and the block stays visible after purchase as well, so buyers keep the opening in front of them instead of starting mid-thought.

Step 2. The paid part

Add the content that only buyers will see. At least one block is needed here — that's what they're paying for.

Step 3. Preview

Two tabs show both sides of the post: Full free part is what everyone sees, After purchase is what a buyer gets.

Step 4. Settings

  • Description (up to 250 characters) and hashtags (up to 15).

  • Post price — between $1 and $10. The Fees calculator next to it shows what reaches you after fees.

  • Cashback — optional. Lets people who don't subscribe to you buy at half price; in return they automatically start following you.

  • AI-Generated, if applicable.

Two checkboxes are required for a paid post: that it contains nothing prohibited, and that the content is yours and isn't available free elsewhere.

Step 5. Publish

Review everything and publish.

Important to know

Once someone buys the post, its content is fixed — you can't edit the free or paid parts, and you can't delete the post. What you can still change is the settings: price, description, hashtags.

So get the content right before publishing; the settings you can revisit. See How to Update the Price of Your Post.
